Rank choice voting resource center is eager to bring RCV to Vermont. RCVresource.org o Carol Livingston – Letter from Jared Wood – Fire pits are not safe due to sparks/embers and smoke. o Carol Livingston – Aden initiative for new Americans. Two zoom meetings, last and next Friday. Three breakouts, each with a different language. Translators and election experts are used. W18 agreed to support this to the tune to $200 each. Last Friday featured French, Napoli and Mimi. Sessions were recorded for future use. Attenders were eager to learn the American voting process. o Caryn Long – Agrees with Jared Wood regarding fire pits. Is also against fire pits. Safety, air quality and management is difficult. We have small yards. Fires maybe OK at beaches and in parks if managed well. Generally, a bad idea. o Caryn Long – BHS students are willing to pick up leaves [found on FPF]. The City is working hard to keep leaves off storm grates resulting in less storm runoff not being captured. Students are picking leaves as a community service. This is important for the quality of Lake Champlain. o Caryn Long – Yard Parking is growing. Send email to CDNR committee. Demolition by neglect, lead paint is an issue. Tenants park on lawns. Email to city officials have gone unanswered, even by W18 councilors. o Caryn Long – Sidewalks – There was extra $ allocated, but “tripper hazards” persist. Three inch different in height. Email to BTV Public Works go unanswered. Who tracks this? Jonathan – Lora Wheelock has been contacted about the [annual?] sidewalk survey. Caryn – these are old issues. Why haven’t they been fixed? Jonathan to followup with Lora. 7:20 City Councilors: Jack Hanson, Zoraya Hightower, Jane Stromberg - Jane Stromberg o Racial Justice Alliance – Battery park occupied for 33ish days. Much conversation resulted. We all learned a lot. o Police – A separation agreement with Sgt. Jason Bellavance has been closed. It includes $300K plus health insurance for 18 months. Resignation date was oct 5th. o Rank choice voting has been approved for the March 2021 ballot. o Council training on executive session / open meeting law. Legal justification for invitations to executive session. City will post justification and attenders for future executive sessions. o Open fire pits: Surprised this is a big issue. BTV board of health [BoH] has discussed and is preparing recommendations to the council. BoH has a public forum. - Zoraya Hightower o Open fire pits: Educated by email. Board of Health is the right place to discuss. Safety – Reach out to BTV fire chief. The chief seemed OK on this. o Racial Justice – RFP for community visioning facilitator, who will cover public safety and quality of life, find gaps and address. So more than just police. o Joint committee – Kyle Dodson, Director of police transformation, will lead an assessment of Burlington police dept. o Joined the committee for Burlington schools. Up front is a discussion of school resource officers. o Response to emails. – Councilors get copied on much email. Email directed to councilors or with a direct ask get better attention. - Jack Hanson o Parking - Ordinance committee meeting last night and next on 10/29. Parking has and will be discussed. Developing parking policy. There is much backyard parking and parking creep. The policy will likely have Landlords post a parking plan that defines who and where parking is allowed. The goal is to minimize confusion and non-compliance. o Landlords – Discussion started on landlord licensing. Landlord licensing would be a mechanism to hold landlords accountable and that properties are up to standard. o Streets - Winooski Ave has been redesigned this week, south of Pearl St. This is a high crash zone. Dedicated bike lanes and traffic calming features have been added. o Climate - Announced potential City Council action that would prohibit new construction to use fossil fuels for heating and appliances. ▪ Ericka Redic - New carbon fee that would add $7K to housing. This will increase rents / make it more expensive to build and increase rents. Concern that councilors are discussing options that will make BTV more unaffordable. Zoraya – Burlington has to deal with environment and housing costs. Not doing environmental initiatives is not the only way to reduce the cost of housing and make BTV more affordable. The new rule would not increase construction costs. We cannot afford to continue dependence on fossil fuels and retrofitting buildings after construction is expensive. Ericka – How will BTV produce sufficient electricity to meet the increased demand? Jack - Burlington Electric is net zero energy today. Ericka – will we burn more wood chips? Jack - solar/wind/biomass will be part of the mix. ▪ Jean Hopkins stated that many homeowners are installing solar panels. Co Housing produced sufficient electricity from solar panels to sell $6000 of energy to Burlington Electric. Zoraya - Switching to solar includes front loading the capital costs and saving on traditional fuels. 7:35 Mark Hughes: update on Racial Justice Alliance Operation Phoenix – No show 7:55 School Commissioners: Kathy Orwell & Aden Haji – No show 8:05 Candidate Forum, Vermont General Assembly VT Senate candidates - Tom Chittenden o Has worked in W1 at UVM for 20 years. Grew up in Chittenden County. Advocate for Vermont to grow. o Advocate of regionalization, e.g. dispatch, airport regional authority, storm water… There are more opportunities for collaboration to increase performance and decrease costs. o Concerned about climate change o Advocate of using amenities at Park & Ride, to encourage use of mass transit for those who have a choice of transportation vehicles. e.g. convenience will encourage transit. o Former chair of the GMT board when First 2 electric busses added. o S. Burlington City Councilor o Is accessible - Ericka Redic o Born and raised Vermonter o Accountant o Focus on affordability and economy. These are foundational and unifying issues. o 30% of suicides are due to lack of employment and lack of opportunity o Current legislature passes bills on guns, climate, and to help everyone, each with high costs. This strangles businesses and middle class. Middle class is greatly impacted, because they have sufficient income to pay taxes, but insufficient income to not be harmed by the taxes in aggregate. o Tax rates are too high, this is a cause of people leaving the state. o Half of college graduates leave the state o Would like to make VT #1 in business friendliness. Then jobs would be more plentiful, college grads could afford to stay and contribute to society o Vermont sequesters carbon. We’re already doing a good job o With more tax revenue from businesses, we could pay for infrastructure and prevent harm, e.g. dumping of raw sewage into Lake Champlain - Phil Baruth o Current senator o Covid response ▪ Feds contributed Covid cares monies – time sensitive – must be spent by year end. ▪ Chair of Senate Ed committee • Best school use – HVAC upgrades ▪ • Program run by Efficiency Vermont ▪ Before covid 19 • Lead testing bill last year – most strict standard in the nation • $3M for testing schools and child care - Ginny Lyons o Long time senator – chairs health & human services o Biology professor o Got $275M from Feds o Healthcare initiatives reflected in lower covid rate in the state o Food security - $4.5M into food banks… o Feds have taken away local food distributor – result is no fresh local foods o Environment, public health, health care o Evidence based decisions o Climate change ▪ Heat pumps save dollars ▪ New Renter weatherization and energy programs o Healthcare is 20% of state economy ▪ Drug importation bill – save in Canada - Chris Pearson o 2nd term State Senator - o Federal politics is overwhelming and upsetting o VT leg is hard work… bills addressed ▪ Virus - safe from evictions, hunger, childcare, ▪ Clean water – dedicated funding ▪ Boosted minimum wages ▪ Reduced cost of prescription drugs ▪ Abortion a right in state law ▪ Gun safety updates ▪ Police use of deadly force ▪ Greater role of citizen oversight ▪ Wiping out marijuana records ▪ Small business portal – easier to register business ▪ Consumer protection ▪ Climate • VT has highest per capita emissions • VT has reduced emission the least against 1990 levels • Work in progress to get VT to 100% renewable energy o Climate caucus has some wins 3 of 4.

  • Legislative Oversight in Vermont
    Legislative Oversight in Vermont Capacity and Usage Assessment Oversight through Analytic Bureaucracies: Moderate Oversight through the Appropriations Process: Moderate Oversight through Committees: Limited Oversight through Administrative Rule Review: Limited Oversight through Advice and Consent: Limited Oversight through Monitoring Contracts: Minimal Judgment of Overall Institutional Capacity for Oversight: Limited Judgment of Overall Use of Institutional Capacity for Oversight: Limited Summary Assessment While Vermont has a relatively weak governor, it also has limited legislative oversight mechanisms. Vermont’s legislature does not appear to regularly use the oversight tools available to it. Growing partisanship and increasing tensions between the legislature and the executive in recent years appear to magnify some of the flaws in the system of legislative oversight in Vermont. Major Strengths Vermont’s legislature has an unusually large amount of influence over the appropriations process, a circumstance resulting from the fact that the governor does not have line-item veto authority. Similarly, standing committees routinely call agency heads in for questioning, which at times has prompted policy changes from those agencies. While recent disputes between the legislature and the governor have made the appropriations process more contentious, the legislature has remained united across partisan lines and was able to pass a budget in the face of repeated gubernatorial vetoes. Vermont also has sunrise laws in place that require agencies to demonstrate that any new rules will yield positive outcomes before being enacted. Challenges Vermont’s legislature has the power to block gubernatorial appointees, but this power is used rarely. In recent cases when it has happened, blocking of nominees has been characterized as “highly unusual” and motivated by partisanship.

  • PSI Staff Memorandum To
    PSI Staff Memorandum To: The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations From: Subcommittee Staff Date: April 30, 2020 Re: Roundtable on Continuity of Senate Operations and Remote Voting in Times of Crisis On April 30, 2020, at 9 a.m., the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will hold an online roundtable via WebEx entitled “Continuity of Senate Operations and Remote Voting in Times of Crisis.” The recorded roundtable will be posted to the Subcommittee’s website. The Subcommittee will hear from the following experts: Martin B. Gold, Partner, Capitol Counsel, LLC Joshua C. Huder, Senior Fellow, Government Affairs Institute, Georgetown University Lorelei Kelly, Fellow, Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation, Georgetown University Jurisdiction: The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, whose jurisdiction governs the Subcommittee’s jurisdiction, has jurisdiction over congressional organization, including continuity and technological issues such as those discussed here. This memorandum does not endorse any specific technology, however, which is under the purview of the Senate Sergeant at Arms. The Senate Committee on Rules has jurisdiction over the rules changes discussed in this memorandum. Introduction The COVID-19 virus has shut down major sectors of our society, including many functions of Congress. By rule and custom, the two chambers of Congress have always met in person to conduct business, including committee hearings, floor deliberation, and voting. Neither chamber has contingency plans that allow those functions to proceed remotely, but this crisis highlights the need to consider means for Congress to do its job at times when it may not be safe for members and staff to gather in person.

    June 21, 2021 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Madam Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The scope of these state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. Indeed, we have attempted again and again to work with our Republican colleagues to set policies that safely and securely expanded voting access—but they simply refuse to act in good faith.
